Android Apps with OTA-13

[stanwood]

@LRV Weird, OTA-13 did not change anything concerning Android kernels, that are already installed in the Nexus 5 Ubuntu Touch image.

However, since Anbox touches the root of the system image, it must be reinstalled after each OTA update:

sudo mount -o rw,remount /
sudo apt update
sudo apt install anbox-ubuntu-touch android-tools-adb
anbox-tool install
exit

Than re-install your .apk apps as described above. It should work.

EDIT: Do not load Anbox cd-image as it is already charged in the Nexus 5 by default...

@stanwood It looks good, but after
sudo apt install anbox-ubuntu-touch android-tools-adb

the terminal indicates "no enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/
I do not how to resolve this issue

[stanwood]

@tgv34 Ok, so you might resize your memory partition dedicated to Anbox as follow:

sudo mount -o rw,remount /
sudo rm -r /var/cache/apt
sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/loop0
sudo apt update
sudo apt install anbox-ubuntu-touch android-tools-adb
sudo mount -o ro,remount /
exit

It should work fine after this.

@tgv34
I guess you can also mount /var/cache/apt from the userdata partition.
This way what is installed is kept after an OTA.
But I never tried it myself cause I have no need for Anbox.

@stanwood Thank you very much, it worked fine on my nexus5
@AppLee Thank you for your message, I did not tried your suggestion as my issue was already solved.

@stanwood Just curious because I didn't install :
Have you tested Firefox through Anbox? If yes, is it fully operational: downloading, acceleration...

[stanwood]

@domubpkm No, I installed Anbox on an experimental basis and tried a few Android apps. But didn't use Firefox as Morph is really fine for me. But I guess you can install Firefox not using Anbox but with Libertines. (easier way)

@stanwood Your method above worked. Thanks.
